Odin's Raven

I started by drawling the outline of the base of my boat and then using a jigsaw to cut the base out.

Supplies

The materials I used were the following:

  1. 3 art shipping boxes, 40" x 36" x 5" that we bought from Postal Annex
  2. 4 rolls of Gorilla Tape
  3. 1 can of black spray paint
  4. 1 bag of black feathers
  5. 1 bag of large stickers

Building the Sides of the Boat

I then measured side walls to wrap each side of the boat.

Molding the Boat

I had to bend and mold the cardboard around the base to take shape.

Trimming the Edges

I had to use a box cutter to trim off excess cardboard.

Taping the Boat

I asked my dad to help me hold the boat while I taped it to hopefully make it waterproof.
